What defines you? Your memories? Your choices? Your ideals? Or something deeper, something beyond your control? James had a dream—an identity, an ego so unyielding he would do anything to accomplish it. Then he died. The ego, something he had so desperately clung to, should have vanished into the void. Except it didn’t. Now, James exists as Zeliot Valoria, one of the sons of Indra’s ruling duke. A boy born into privilege and suffocated by expectations. Yet, the memories of James’s ambitions, his choices, and his failures remain as vivid as ever. What once drove him forward as a man now leaves him untethered in a world of political games, fragile alliances, and secrets buried beneath centuries of power. Caught between two selves, Zeliot must ask: How much of James should he hold onto? And how much of Zeliot will he allow himself to become? As conspiracies unravel around him and the very ideals he once lived and died for are tested, Zeliot is forced to decide if those beliefs were ever truly his—or just the remnants of a life already lost. In Espersia: Requiem for a Revolutionary, identity and ideals collide in a story of ambition, loyalty, and the cost of defining yourself in a world determined to do it for you.
